OPERATING ALARM SYSTEMS

The manifold control cabinet contains the required circuitry to send a dry contact signal to the alarm unit when

a bank is empty and change-over occurs. The normally closed internal circuitry is designed to alarm when there

is an open circuit. The depletion of a bank triggers a relay, which renders the alarm circuit open and initiates the

alarm signal.

GAS SERVICE IDENTIFICATION

Amico manifolds are clearly labeled for the intended gas use, indicating the appropriate gas with a label that is attached

on the cabinet door. There are two pipes extending from the top of the cabinet, one is for the main line pressure and the

other is the vent for the pressure relief valves, which is also labeled accordingly.

HEADER BAR CONNECTIONS

The gas-specific header bar should be attached to the inlet block on either side of the manifold. The inlet block is provided

with a sintered bronze filter and a “C” clip to secure it. The header should contain the proper gas connections and all

cylinder bar connections; as well the pigtail (hose) assemblies should comply with CGA standard B96, Compressed

Gas Cylinder Valve outlet and inlet connections.
